There is a sense of wander and originality in The Unfinished Swan that Journey also had. But the real similarity between the two comes from the sense that both titles put an emphasis on the idea of video games as art. That’s not exactly a bad thing, since Journey is an incredible title (and one of our favorite games of the year so far), but the similarities between the games are fairly general.īoth properties are coming from indie developers nurtured by Sony, and both games will be available on the PlayStation Network and exclusive to the PS3. The comparisons to Thatgamecompany’s Journey are, and will continue to be, unavoidable. Those years of work will reach a climax some time later this year when the game is released as a PS3 exclusive via PSN. From there developer Giant Sparrow was formed, and with 12 people working from its Santa Monica office, the game has been in one form of development or another for three years. The Unfinished Swan began as a prototype that found its way to the Tokyo Game Show, where it caught the eye of Sony. With color-or the lack thereof–playing such a central role in both the gameplay and possibly the narrative, it seems probable that more colors will be introduced through the game in one form or another-something that developer Giant Sparrow isn’t denying. The section being displayed at a Sony event last week was from the beginning of the game, and the only colors displayed were white, black, and a few bits of yellow. The sections will each represent a different point in the King’s life, from his days as a young boy through his ascent through the years, but how he and Monroe are connected is still a mystery that will be solved during the 2-3 hour, single-player game. The world being shown represents the kingdom of a man that painted his world to life.
That may be a direction marker, designated as a pair of glowing swan feet, or it may be an indication of a piece of art that narrates a bit of the story. The game begins with a monochromatic world, highlighted by the odd burst of color signifying something that demands your attention. In a very loose sense, the game is similar to Junction Point Studios’ Epic Mickey, which also featured a paint mechanic that highlighted hidden, and unfinished paths. Head outside and cover the ground to reveal a pond, teeming with life-some of it hostile. Look to the sides and fire away to reveal walls, furniture, and the trappings of civilization. Look down in the first-person perspective and shoot/throw the paint, and you will highlight a road or path. The more paint you use, the more definition that is applied to the world. When confronted with a world that is marked by its total absence of content, Monroe begins to define the surroundings with paint.
